This facility is an integral part of the CIC-biomaGUNE, officially opened in 2006 and located in San Sebastian. Among other equipment, the facility features a cyclotron capable of producing a wide variety of positron-emitting isotopes, a fully equipped radiochemistry laboratory with versatile automatic synthesis modules and state-of-the-art quality control equipment, a hybrid PET-CT (positron emission tomography-computed tomography) equipment, a hybrid SPECT-CT (single-photon emission tomography-computed tomography) equipment with energy discrimination, two cameras for high-field nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (11,7 and 7 Tesla), and a fluorescence imaging equipment. The facilities are completed with an animal farm dedicated to small rodents.

The infrastructure has been designed, built and equipped to carry out longitudinal and multimodal research projects in the preclinical field, as well as to develop applications in the areas of Preclinical Molecular and Functional Imaging and in Nanomedicine.
